Francisco Peguero (wrist) had four at-bats in an extended spring training game Tuesday.

He's scheduled to play all nine innings in another extended spring game Wednesday. Peguero began the season on the disabled list with a strained right wrist, but it appears he's finally making some progress.

Peguero began the season on the disabled list with a strained right wrist, but it appears he's finally making some progress. He missed a good chunk of spring training with the ailment, so the outfielder will probably need a good number of rehab at-bats. He could conceivably become an option for the Orioles sometime later this month.

Francisco Peguero (wrist) is scheduled to begin a hitting program next week.

Francisco Peguero (wrist) is likely to begin the season on the disabled list, reports MASN Baltimore's Roch Kubatko.

Peguero is still shelved with a strained right wrist, an ailment which will require two more weeks of brace-wearing. "It's frustrating," he said. "I can't do anything right now. I'm here to make the team and I can't do it."

Peguero has been nursing a strained right wrist for about a week now but is starting to feel better. He could still have time to get ready for Opening Day if he avoids setbacks but probably isn't going to make the big league roster.

X-rays taken Wednesday on Francisco Peguero's wrist showed no major structural damage.

Peguero was diagnosed earlier this week with a strained wrist and remains day-to-day. He was already a longshot to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster and this injury, however minor, could be the final nail.

Matt Wieters (elbow) is scheduled to begin catch and throw drills on Monday.

Wieters isn't expected to be cleared to begin throwing with any real force until March 17, but Monday represents a big step in his recovery. To this point, he has been limited to playing long toss. So long as he avoids any setbacks, there's no reason to expect he won't be behind the dish when the O's open up the regular season.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Friday that Chris Davis will get some playing time in right field this spring.

Davis has made 39 starts in the outfield during his career, though none of them have come over the last two seasons. It's just a matter of giving him some reps there just in case he might be needed at the position, as Davis is slated to be the regular first baseman.
